It brings to mind ideas ranging from an actual spinning top, to the precession of the equinoxes, on to the ancient ‘Venus’ sculptures documenting a lost way of knowing, as well as the monochord theory of the harmony of the spheres.
How can one symbol, gigantic as it may be, carry so much meaningful content? It is ingenious and probably there is even more information to be discovered when closer mathematical and scientific exploration is applied to this formation of
This crop circle presents as a ‘diamond/square’, in which two similar, but different sized isosceles triangles are positioned so that they share one side as their base. Each one is filled with alternating dark and light ‘rays’ emanating from the apexes, so that, at the bases one would notice that the ending of a ‘dark’ ray of one triangle would meet the ending of a ‘light’ ray of the other at the shared base. Instead what happens is that each ‘ray’ is transformed into its opposite shade when it travels through one of the three circles that sit directly on the base that also defines the diameters of each of the circles. So we have this diamond shape, which at its middle, bulges out into one large central circle in between two smaller and unequal sized circles. We have dark and light that emanate from opposing source points being transformed into their opposites.
The square, or diamond, is a traditional symbol of the Earth. As the Earth Diamond, this formation which can be easily seen as a square form divided into four parts by the baseline of the triangles and a line from the top vertex to the bottom one, represents the “Virgin Earth, that is, Mother Earth at the beginning of creation”. It is also emblematic of the female sexual organ and, in Nordic tradition symbolizes the ‘Eye of Fire’ (Read more ...)
